Before Walt Disney became a legendary innovator and entertainer, he was a poor farm boy from Marceline, Missouri. Every year, he looked forward to the Fourth of July fireworks, a display that never failed to captivate him. In fact, it was this beloved childhood memory that motivated Walt to send Disneyland visitors home with a fireworks show every evening--the perfect "kiss goodnight." This story not only inspired renowned Disney songwriter Richard M. Sherman to write a beautiful song based on Walt's gift to his guests, but it also inspired this book, illustrated by another Disney Legend, celebrated animator Floyd Norman. Follow Walt's journey, be enchanted by Richard's lyrics, be moved by Floyd's artwork, and most of all, let your imagination be ignited.
